On the difficult 1 Peter 3.19-20, Wayne Grudem's 1986 article is a good guide to the issues

Karen Jobes, author of major commentary on 1 Peter, discusses the minor prophets in 1 Peter (as well as James and 2 Peter) in this article (pp 142-6).
Though now dated, this 1985 bibliography of academic literature by Denys Silva is a good guide to work before that date
